Johnson Controls India partners with Purnkuti NGO to strengthen women’s

PUNE : Johnson Controls India partnered with Purnkuti NGO to support womenled micro enterprises and strengthen sustainable livelihoods in Pune through a business kit distribution event, part of its CSR program and long-standing collaboration with the organization.

The initiative focused on generating sustainable income by pairing skill development with resources, market exposure and enterprise support—helping participants build independent, long-term sources of income.

During the event, Johnson Controls distributed business startup kits to 26 beneficiaries, enabling them to grow their entrepreneurial efforts. The kits included eight parlour units, eight tailoring units, and 10 crochet units. The support is expected to strengthen participants’ ability to generate sustainable income and build micro-enterprises. The program is also anticipated to create multiplier impact—indirectly benefiting more than 100 individuals through improved livelihood opportunities, better nutrition, and enhanced access to education within beneficiaries’ families.

The event was attended by Preeti Vaishnaov and Sanchari Sinha from Johnson Controls India, alongside Sneha Bharti, Founder of Purnkuti, who has been instrumental in implementing the initiative at the grassroots level.

“What excites us most is the pathway this partnership is opening up: moving women from training to thriving enterprises, and building a local ecosystem where market access, mentoring, and shared networks help livelihoods grow year after year,” said Sneha Bharti, Purnkuti Founder & Secretary. “With committed partners like Johnson Controls, we are investing in long-term, measurable change, one that can be strengthened and scaled to reach many more families through sustained, responsible CSR.”
